All cockroach species are scavengers, feeding on garbage, dead insects, or human food, which they contaminate with their excrement. Because of the threat of transmitted diseases much effort and expense have been invested in the chemical control of this pest.
It’s up to you to create an inhospitable environment to discourage their presence by:
Inspect all incoming packages Always store foodstuff in containers roaches can’t penetrate Repair water leaks Keep trash outside Don’t let crumbs accumulate Seal up cracks and holes in the walls to cut down on points of entry Store firewood away from the home Do not store newspapers and/or any cardboard material
A few treatments are normally needed to bring a bad roach situation under control. When the first “cleanout” treatment is done you will be required to empty any cabinets, bottom of closets, under beds where you are seeing roaches. The first follow-up should be done two weeks after the initial treatment and then monthly service should be used until you feel the problem is eliminated or under control.
